Hi Joshua,

The Walther PP and PPK are totally different than the P.38. PP is a pocket auto, the PPK is a smaller ,shortened or compact, version of the PP. The P.38 is a full sized combat pistol which replaced the Luger. An all together different design.

Photo 1: Walther PP "Polizeipistole" 7.65MM or 9MM Kurz (.22 LR,.32 ACP or .380 ACP)

Photo 2: Walther PPK "Polizeipistole Kurz"(short) 7.65MM or 9MM Kurz (.22 LR,.32 ACP or .380 ACP)

Photo 3: Walther P.38 9MM Parabellum (9MM Luger) Some commercial variations were made in .22LR and 7.65 Parabellum (.30 Luger) Post war version is classified as P.1.
